I like the environment you're working in better than loud barns with radios blaring. Much calmer.

[@rebelbelle62]

You are so empathetic towards the horses you work on. Your amazing!

[@geoffnepo]

For someone who knows absolutely nothing about horse shoeing this is very interesting

[@davidbohner2061]

What an artisan. Great work and considerate of the animal.

[@PoleyB1]

Those are some pretty rough looking hooves. You did an awesome job on them

[@rcowboy94]

this man has forgotten more about shoeing horse then you people who are bashing him could ever learn his credentials are thru the roof. and the shoeing job he is doing is top notch

[@Guruton10]

Spot on Brianna

[@davidjessee7701]

Amen to that brother

[@ericrussell7961]

He may have forgotten more and has the credentials. Top notch shoeing, c'mon!

[@crazycat1345]

this guy has had some very good teachers. Good job..

[@karenhubbard1644]

Very good presentation and lots of indication awareness stuff intuitive.

Too rich for my Yorkshire wallet , Thanks for the great Videos and work 👍

[@davepelfrey3958]

I thought you did an excellent job on this horse!

[@csnelling4]

Thank you for that Farrier Products 👍

[@csnelling4]

Beyond my Yorkshire wallet 😉Thanks for the great videos . Great work 👍

[@dshe8637]

It's great to see how you suit your trim and shoes to the horse. Too many self-opinionated video makers have a set idea about hoof shape and go at the feet with determination to achieve it regardless of the animal. This poor horse is paying the price for having an awful conformation due to its breeding.

[@droneshorses]

Such educational! Thank you :-)

[@ajithpennukkara4209]

Nice to see your excellent work 💕

[@pwbreb]

Does he get an anti-inflammatory before or after shoeing?

[@البشيرمحمداسبع]

I love this job from my hard i have 2horses but ihav'nt any tooles to do this job we hav 'nt in algeria

[@stephaniemarie2074]

I wonder how much this costed the owner. Just curious..looks like alot of work

[@FarrierProducts]

Hi Stephanie, Rates vary all over the country- anywhere from $80-$200 per horse.

[@robertkendall1037]

@@FarrierProducts That seems incredibly cheap for the amount of care and work you put into this job

[@FarrierProducts]

@@robertkendall1037 Definitely at the low end it is cheap. But it's relative and depends a lot on the income of the owners - ability to pay is not always so great.

Is re-shoeing done every six week ?

[@FarrierProducts]

Most farriers prefer to have do this work on a regular schedule. 6 weeks for horses that are used regularly is a typical time frame.

[@cassieyoung461]

It really depends on the horse but yes 6 weeks is typical! I’ve known horses that have to do 4-5 weeks and 6 is too long, and some that can go 8 weeks!

[@cassieyoung461]

Doing it regularly really is the best though once you find your horse’s range. That way you can gradually solve any issues or stop other issues from happening

[@dianabranham7332]

Horses that have EP drag their hind feet like that to

[@francescotramacere8298]

Anche questo manuscalco lima muraglia...bo?!

[@francescotramacere8298]

Non vede distacco linea bianca dalla muraglia? Curare

About £700 pound a year not cheap .

[@FarrierProducts]

It is an expensive hobby to have horses!

[@rolanddawson3657]

Treating them right seems pretty worth it though.

[@cathringustafsson2426]

In Sweden it costs £120 each time with a regular basis farrier. A top Notch much more. Problems solved at clinics £ 200 per hoof

[@dackerson5]

What a shoeing job like this cost?

[@maaliyiahharrell_4781]

Dave Ackerson $75 to $350 per horse depending on how many shoes you want (2 or 4) and also just by the credentials and experience of the farrier. A newer and more inexperienced farrier won't cost as much as a Top of the line farrier. If you want a horse done without shoes, it ranges from $25 (my old farrier charged $25) to $125.

[@dbrown2356]

Why do you leave your hoof long.you took off only 1/8". Instead of lower your flare you just nip the wall.curious?

[@jamestaylor954]

So how do wild horse take care of their feet?

[@MrTreesandstuff]

James Taylor try googling it first

[@macanoe5335]

And if natural wear and tear doesn't work, the horse dies

[@rolanddawson3657]

They’re naturally worn down. The open world they live doesn’t end with a fence.

[@dannypistilli4864]

They travel far distances for food, water and wear them down... not too mention breeding plays a part too... some breeds have more durable hoofs then others... Arabians have great hooves as compared to thoroughbreds which have less desirable but with shoes can be one of the most athletic horse. Also, they dont have a two hundred pound rider and saddle on them in the wild.

[@dondavideo8901]

More help with no shoes

[@bmc06239]

Nothing like a horse that toe walks through the corners...don't worry most vets would call it sound...I say future navicular candidate.

[@anthonyevans7756]

Have you come across many Navicular cases in the Hind feet mate?

[@bmc06239]

@@anthonyevans7756 yes...but more caudal hoof pain from bar distortion rather then navicular bone deterioration on from years of incorrect hoof-fall. see bar injury here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ2anmucpbOejqM

[@WhateverIWILLtoBe]

Anyone else notice that the horse that walks INTO the barn in the beginning is NOT the same horse as the one that walks out? One leg is completely white on the entry horse at the start of the video. Why the deception?

[@chrisbutenko8974]

There are two horses in a series of about half a dozen videos. Same handler, same trailer, same farrier, same day. One is a red quarter horse with one white socks on his hd left, one is a red Tb/quarter cross with no white. The horse with the white socks is lead into the barn as part of the title sequence, and not meant to be confused with the horse Mike is working on.
